Margo's secretary-aid, Birdie (Thelma Ritter), was the first to sense something was strange about Eve, but her position made it not her place to speak ...

Since black symbolizes death I figured that Elizabeth maybe felt black, like putting herself out of the misery of all this charging rather than go along with it. She gets blamed for many things that she did not do. For example she is accused of poking Abby with a needle by a poppet. Mary must also feel bl ...

Later, Willy becomes discouraged to hear that it wasn’t possible. A build-up of disappointments might be the ...
